I was experimenting this weekend with repeat groups.
I found a few major problems with repeat groups rendered as as table.
I found a few major problems with repeat groups rendered as as table.
- Tips are not shown - not even the Tip question mark and Validation star icon indicators in the label that are shown when the repeats are rendered as a UL. I think that the tip and validation moseover icons/labels should be shown over each column in the table. (Not triggered over each value in the table cells in that column like is done in a list when the 'Show in list' Tip option is checked. That is just plain distracting - and would be especially so if the element is editable. )
- There is no indication of a failed Validation when Ajax validation is enabled. The spinner works and the 'td' cell gets the correct class names added (fabrikError error has-error) - but there is no css styling to border the cell in red and the fabrikErrorMessage span is empty. (In the attached image I have added td.fabrikError { border: 1px solid #ff0000; } to the template css so that the border shows in red.)
- So when the form is submitted, there is nothing indicating exactly what or where any validation error(s) might be. The system message is always simply, "Some parts of your form have not been correctly filled in" - but without the red borders or individual element error message shown - that is pretty much useless - especially without any Tips showing that might help guide the user or indicate what is expected.
